The pins and needles prick from the outside and escape the inside. They burn. I bleed. I realize that I am alive again. The related story to this painting, “The World of the Sanguine Ferns” can be found through my Live Journal link at EBSQ art.

Painted on hand-primed and stretched Belgian linen, this painting is encaustic and mixed media with hypodermic needle tips and powdered hemoglobin. It is mounted on a handfinished wooden panel and carefully encased in a custom, uv-protective plexi box. - No Longer Available :)
